JAPAN CAR DIRECT'S GOAL

Our main mission is simple. We strive for every customer’s total satisfaction and to provide the best online platform to import a car from Japan. We work to achieve this with honest, professional service, and clear communication. We are auction members with bidding privileges at all the dealer’s auctions in Japan. JCD’s customers are supplied with auction memberships enabling them to search at their leisure, and see the auction reports, photos and winning bids of  thousands of JDM vehicles weekly at the over 120 dealer auctions. It is our goal to provide the best place for you to find the exact car your are seeking. Commercial vehicles, a second car, we’ve got your needs covered regardless of what sort of JDM car you might be looking for.

We provide professional inspections of all vehicles to assure that they meet customers’ required spec and condition before purchase. We source JDM vehicles from auction houses, dealer’s lots and private sellers to ensure your dream car is available to you. After being purchased the vehicles are transported to the nearest port for export to the required destination using experienced shipping companies. We are here to serve all of our customers in a straight forward and ethical manner. We want you to enjoy the buying process. Our knowledgable team will help you navigate import regulations for your home country. When it comes to buying your new Japanese car, we believe the while process should be as easy as possible. We work for a set service fee and customers can win their new Japanese car at auction for less than their maximum bid. A scan of the winning bid is sent to every customer. The lower our customers win for the happier we all are!
